Not sure what is meant here by "nacelle": Is it a special place in the stands? thanks!

XXXX s’invite au GP de F1 de France
Une **nacelle** de 40m, deux de 28m et deux autres de 20m se sont installées aux meilleures places le temps d’un week-end sur le circuit de YYYY, pour vous permettre de suivre en direct le Grand Prix de France de formule 1. Un contrat gagné sur la concurrence que l’on doit à la pugnacité du passionné de sports automobiles qu’est ZZZZ. Pour parer à toute éventualité, AAAAA, mécanicien, assurait une permanence sur place. Quand le rouge (car brand) côtoie le rouge (equipment rental company brand), c’est la rencontre de 2 numéros 1 !

aerial boom lift


Explanation:
Purists reserve 'cherry picker' for the non-telescoping kind. Besides, 40m is rather larger than anything used to pick fruit.
